The whole school was competing to raise the mightiest dragons, the most graceful elves, and the most spiritually attuned immortal beasts.
Only I, Lin Yi, was crouched in my sea of consciousness, watching a bunch of rocks “grind” circuit boards in a sea of sulfuric acid heated to four hundred degrees.
After transmigrating as a Creator, I drew “interstellar dust” from the start and became the year's laughingstock.
The campus belle pitied me, my roommate tried to comfort me, and my rivals wished I'd drop out already.
Fortunately, I bound the [Genesis Simulator].
Since the carbon-based path was already a dead end, I might as well... create a new species.
While my classmates used precious cards to cultivate spirit herbs and immortal springs, I designed a dual-mode “geothermal-photovoltaic” power system for silicon-based microorganisms in the simulator.
While my rivals showed off divine beasts that could take shape from spiritual energy, my “Star-Eyed” race was efficiently covering an entire continent in solar panels.
When the invasion test by foreign gods began, the dazzling civilizations of the upperclassmen collapsed one after another.
When it was my turn, I scratched my head and let my “children” loose.
A silent forest of living metal, shimmering with silver light, slowly spread out.
No magical displays of light, no roaring cries.
Only a cold, synthesized mechanical voice echoed across the battlefield:
“Higher-dimensional interference detected. Executing protocol: physical purification.”
In the next instant, countless crystals multiplied, transformed, and joined together, dismantling the indescribable creations of divine power... into standard parts and pure energy.
The entire crowd fell silent.
The spirit-energy phoenix in the campus belle's hand dropped to the ground with a clack. Her little mouth hung open as she pointed at me, her voice trembling.
“Lin Yi... you call this a ‘civilization’?!”
